After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Russellville, Carlisle was happy to have turned things around on Monday. They put the hurt on the Palestine-Wheatley Patriots with a sharp 17-6 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bison, who have now won six matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Tessa Sanders made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She pitched four innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI. Those two hits gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Chloe Smith, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. Those two runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Ally Mooney, who scored two runs while going 4-for-4.

Carlisle has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.6 runs over those games. Palestine-Wheatley is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-5.

Coming up, Carlisle will take on England at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Palestine-Wheatley, they will challenge Bay at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
